The B11R runs smoothly, not only on the road but also in production, service and maintenance. A flat-top framework provides efficient body construction and guarantees a long, productive life. Rigid or independent front suspension in combination with a compact and service-friendly driveline installation extends the scope for creating a spacious and efficient coach.

Front suspension Rigid or independent front suspension is available, offering excellent comfort and handling along with a tight turning circle. Engines Volvo engines are known for first-class driveability. The D11C is no exception and its outstanding fuel efficiency reduces its environmental impact. Available in ratings up to 450 bhp. I-Shift Volvos legendary I-Shift transmission combines smooth and silent shifting with fuel efficiency and lets the engine

run under optimised conditions. Brakes Powerful, EBS-controlled disc brakes are well-known Volvo safety components. For top-of-the-line safety you can opt for a retarder and our Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Automatic function check The multiplexed electronics system keeps track of the basic functions. Clear instrumentation and logical control panels help the driver stay alert, focused and in control of the coach. All safety features are checked at every start-up. Automatically.

Trouble-free maintenance In a perspective of lifecycle productivity, maintenance and reliability are crucial matters. The B11R is designed for long service intervals and swift and simple maintenance. Oil change intervals are extended and many critical components are maintenance-free, such as prop-shafts, half-shafts and rear wheel bearings. In addition, Volvos multiplexed electronics system functions as a preventive maintenance and diagnostics tool.

Simple service With Volvo, service and maintenance are simple matters. All service points are easily reached and, due to component commonality within the Volvo family, your spare parts logistics are simplified. You also benefit from our extensive service network, which we partly share with Volvo Trucks. There are also hundreds of specialised Bus Service Centers, providing competence, tools and parts for virtually all your needs.
